Harvard Sex Week

In some professions people can be thirty or older when their training is complete. I don't urge them to be celibate until then.

Nevertheless, it strikes me that there is something profoundly amiss with the hook-up and friends-with-benefits cultures. I can't find words; the Gods of the Copybook Headings could express my unease better than I can.

The Left likes to package indoctrination as information or education: "teach-ins", for example. I don't flat-out assert that Harvard Sex week is postmodern indoctrination, but the suspicion strikes me as reasonable.
